👉 The Moldova fumes refer to a significant environmental issue stemming from the country's coal mining industry, particularly in the regions around the capital, Chișinău, and other industrial areas. Coal mining has led to substantial air pollution, releasing large amounts of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and other harmful pollutants into the atmosphere. These emissions have resulted in poor air quality, contributing to respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and other health issues for local populations. Additionally, the burning of coal contributes to climate change and acid rain, affecting not only Moldova but also neighboring countries. Efforts to mitigate these fumes include stricter regulations on coal mining and power generation, as well as investments in cleaner energy sources, though challenges remain due to economic and infrastructural constraints.
